5 Reasons to Join the Fallout 76 Beta & 1 Reason Not To

Try the Fallout 76 Beta If You're Undecided

In the aftermath of Bethesda's announcements, we've seen a mix of opinions.

Some people are excited about jumping into an online Fallout game and Bethesda's version of West Virginia. Some fans of the series are feeling mixed emotions. And others hate the fact that the next Fallout game is an online title. 

Bethesda's doing something new and it's taking a risk. The company's had success with Elder Scrolls Online, but Fallout 76 is more of a survival game than an MMORPG. The skepticism from hardcore Fallout fans and casual fans is understandable. 

If you aren't completely sold on the idea of an online Fallout game set in West Virginia and Vault 76, pre-order a copy of the game and try the beta. 

We'll see all sorts of videos and impressions, but trying the game yourself is the best way to decide if the concept is worth your time and your $60+. 

Remember, most retailers allow you to cancel pre-orders, free of charge, ahead of the release date.

We pre-ordered the game through Amazon and recently got a code for the beta. Our bank account hasn't been charged and we should be able to cancel if the beta disappoints.

Just be sure not to cancel your pre-order right after you get the code. You run the risk of your code getting canceled.
